I didn't like the scientist Mr Willis next door.

My favourite character was Tom, Ella's brother. I liked it when they changed bodies and Ella became the Mad Scientist called Mr Willis and he became Ella. I also liked it when Ella was really grumpy.

It was a lovely book because it was funny and it made me laugh. I liked Ella the little girl the best because she’s sometimes fun and she kind of saved her little brothers bear she did. I would recommend it to someone else as it was so good.

I really like it because it’s really funny. Mr Willis was my favourite character because he was very funny. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone else because it is hard to read.

I liked that they switched bodies and that when they switched back the baddy had a hurt ankle. I would recommend it.

I thought this book was really funny. I liked it when the mad scientist twisted his ankle and had to do everything.

It was a fun book, but hard for me to read. It has some longer words, but I enjoyed to story and the magic that happened.

This book made me laugh because of the funny accent of the Mad Scientist. I also thought it was funny when Ella and the Mad Scientist swapped bodies!!

This book is interesting because Ella's next door neighbour, Mr Willis was actually a scientist.They swap bodies, and it was really funny.

I liked this book because there were lots of crazy and mad things that happened in the book. My favourite character is Mr Willis because he does lots of cool experiments. I would recommend this book.
